The fact that Gülben Ergen attended the funeral of singer Fatih Ürek with her head uncovered sparked discussions on social media. Armağan Çağlayan, who shared his thoughts on the matter, argued that the rules of that faith should be respected when entering a mosque and its courtyard, stating that it is not appropriate to be uncovered in sacred places.
After suffering a heart attack in Istanbul, singer Fatih Ürek, who was being treated in the hospital, passed away.

GÜLBEN ERGEN ATTENDED WITH HER HEAD UNCOVERED
It was noted that Gülben Ergen, who attended the funeral ceremony, did not cover her head. While this situation was discussed on social media, Armağan Çağlayan also made a post.
"JUST AS YOU CANNOT ENTER CHURCHES WEARING A HAT..."
Armağan Çağlayan, who said, "I don't want to ignite a new debate, but I want to write about a situation that has been bothering me for a long time," stated, "When entering a sacred place of a religion, we must fulfill the requirements of that religion. When entering the mosque courtyard, we must adhere to the rules of Islam. Just as you cannot enter churches abroad with a hat on your head, I believe you should not be uncovered in the mosque courtyard either. Your beliefs may be different, but I think no one has the right to disturb other believers in the sacred place we enter."
